This book presents a thorough and systematic exposition of the various dimensions of electroencephalography. It emphasizes direct bedside application in different areas. Among the wide spectrum of topics covered, the book highlights the historical aspects, basic and technical details, methodological issues and interpretation and application in different areas.
A practical guide to an often intimidating subject! Readers will appreciate the clear, sensible discussions of common neurologic conditions in this nicely updated New Edition. It details the initial examination, interpretation of results, diagnosis, treatment options, and more. Dr. Gelb’s systematic approach to patient management, and his reader-friendly style, makes complex information easy to understand and apply. Elsevier
These proceedings review and discuss the different aspects of the biology of the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) and its involvement in the pathogenesis of brain disorders. The BBB, formed by a complex cellular system of endothelial cells, astroglia, pericytes, perivascular macrophages and a basal membrane, serves as a controlled functional gate to CNS. In vitro and in vivo models have been established to study the cellular and molecular interaction within the BBB and between the BBB and the neural cells. The structural and functional integrity of the BBB was shown to be dramatically altered during various diseases of the CNS, including neoplasia, ischemia, trauma, inflammation and bacterial and viral infections. Two approaches to drug delivery across the BBB have been pursued, based on either modulation of the permeability of the barrier or by conjugation of the drug to substrates of the active transport systems of the BBB.
Neurological clinical examinations are some of the most intimidating procedures a medical student has to perform. This book sets out to demystify them, and as is shown by the spectacular success of the previous editions, succeeds admirably.
The new edition continues to advance this model while identifying and incorporating the many advances that have occurred in the last decade in the understanding and treatment of adults with neurological conditions, whether caused by accident or disease. Among these advances is the knowledge that the brain retains a plastic potential to reorganize, even in old and/or lesioned brains, and that neural plasticity can be influenced by task-related mental and physical practice in a stimulating environment. There is also an increasing body of knowledge related to the musculoskeletal systems adaptability and the need to prevent length and stiffness- related changes in muscle contractility, together with loss of aerobic fitness and endurance. There is an expanding body of clinical research that appears to support the model provided here.
This clinical atlas consists of both a DVD and companion text that cover basic classifications and definitions of seizures and epilepsy, EEG technology and clinical EEG before proceeding to the key content of EEG traces and video samples. The DVD allows you to view the EEG tracing in action, with a side-by-side video of a patient during the inter-ictal phase. The accompanying text concisely covers the key principles, scope, limitations, diagnostic importance, and prognostic relevance for each interpretation.
The present edition of ML T Book is the second revision which had acquired an outstanding reputation. The book has been kept handy and comprehensive for the benefit of all students technical staff undergraduates postgraduates and practitioners. Few haematological and biochemical techniques have been revised and updated. Manual as well as automatic methods have been incorporated. Special techniques in the field of histocytochemistry have also been added. Introduction to chapters of Quality Control Automation is in accordance with revolutionary change in the trends and technologists related to modem medical laboratory diagnostics specially of newer technology PCR and flowcytometry. A chapter on AIDS with reference to precautionary measures for working technical staff has been incorporated. Special indexes has been incorporated for easy use by all group of technical staff and medical officials.
The book is expected to be a useful aid to the study of medical disorders from a textbook of medicine both at undergraduate as well as post-graduate levels It is also meant to be used as a textbook of patho-physiology by B. Pharm. students.This book gives a brief account of modern concepts of physiology and patho-physiology. It will also be useful to senior medical and surgical specialists engaged in private practice. I hope this group of readers would also be benefited by perusal of this book.vised

This, the eighth edition of the book, has a completely new full-colour layout, which is further enhanced by a large number of colour illustrations and photographs. In addition, a comprehensive section on the clinical aspects of microbiology aims to help students get to grips with the clinical applications of this field. This book also comes with a handy booklet, which contains an exhaustive list of questions, long, short and multiple choice, for each chapter to help students be better prepared for their examination.
This text by the well-known authors of "Microbiology:Concepts and Applications" emphasizes the importance of integrating new knowledge gained through basic research with applied research and development programs. One of the main features of this text is a presentation of the classification of bacteria in a totally new format. Material on metabolism, bacterial genetics, and genetic engineering and reorganized the section on microorganisms and disease.
Food Microbiology is classified as the study of the microorganisms which are present in food. These microorganisms are of various kinds and can be responsible for creating or even contaminating the food. Microorganisms are needed greatly for producing foods such as cheese, kefir, and other fermented foods. Food Microbiology is a book that provides its readers with in-depth information on the subject of food microbiology.
